It's the high road being taken.

However, as it stands, taking the high road is currently a losing proposition.

Taking the high road on basic principles isn't about winning short-term tactical victories, but it is essential to winning the war.

There's some argument to be made that a cause needs both idealists to keep the them on track, and pragmatists who are willing to compromise in order to win many of the individual battles. Successful activism often seems structured that way.

I think you need to win a few of the short-term tactical victories in order to win the long-term war.

You can't because their rules are designed to make them win, and their logic is alien and their own. They want you to play their game so bad because they only win by rigging.

SJWs fear a fair fight more then anything else.

Oh noes!!  The Evul, Evul SJWs will not only ruin the hobby, but destroy civilization as well en route to bringing about the heat death of the universe!  They're going to send their Lawful Good Squads to force you to play their way!  They're going to ban everyone from even OWNING any game that doesn't have George Soros' personal signature on them!  All their products will cost $66.60 apiece! 

Help us, Obi-MAGA Kenobi!  You're our only hope!

You just put a whole lot of effort into a wet fart :/

My evaluation: The fact that most of the abhorrent and obnoxious behaviors in modern culture are coming from (or at least, being defended by) the left, leftists who are not totally encapsulated in their information bubble (like ones who post here), feel the need to cognitively dismiss the fact that this time it's "their" side who are the assholes.  So they come up with a series of coping strategies.  One of them is to try and show that the most extreme behaviors of the left (behaviors that, when done by the right in the past caused complete condemnation by those same leftists) are actually trivial and not a big deal.  That way the leftists can dismiss the behavior without having to come to grips with the fact that many of the previous behaviors from their side that they thought were based on principle were, in fact, based on simple tactical self-interest (otherwise, how can the same people who championed free speech when they were the cultural outcasts totally reverse now that they control the media, etc.?).  It's kind of sad, really...

Greetings!

Yeah, Eirikrautha, the Leftists have a deep-seated mental illness that makes them all gibbering morons.

Just look at all of the absolute idiocy that SJW's are so desperate to pump into the gaming hobby? All of their ideas are divisive, moronic, and hate-filled, and seem to promote a constant obsession with subversion and degeneracy at every opportunity.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

So i guess we aren't supposed to complain or something. Oh well, I wouldn't want valuable emotional labor in the form of a hacked up meme go to waste.

You don't win a meme war with WORDS.
That guy dumped a meme and everybody flipped their lid. I consider that guy the winner in this encounter.

Absolutely.

It was an old meme and it was cringe but you root for who you want though. It might as well have been the Sea Lion meme. 2014ish

Someone's nervous at the suggestion we just stop giving a twopenny fuck what the SJW degenerates think, huh?
